Dear friend,

The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has left too many Americans struggling to make ends meet. More than 23 million are finding it difficult to put food on the table, and we have still lost nearly 10 million jobs. New economic data this week showed that 2020 was the worst year for economic growth since World War II. Congress must act quickly to provide more relief to families, workers, small businesses, and our frontline workers combatting the virus.

I am committed to working with the Biden administration and leaders in Congress to provide the tools necessary to finally end this pandemic. As the Chair of the New Democrat Coalition, I outlined a list of priorities to be included in the next COVID-19 relief bill. I also spoke with senior White House officials and House leadership this week about these priorities and how to get legislation approved quickly before any benefits lapse. Last year, Senate Majority Leader McConnell’s obstructionism and a lack of leadership from President Trump forced enhanced unemployment benefits, the national eviction moratorium, and other relief programs to expire leaving Americans with significant hardship and uncertainty around when more help would be available. We cannot let this happen again.

Congress must act quickly because the cost of delay or inaction is too great.

As always, I am here to help you. If you need assistance at this difficult time, please do not hesitate to contact my Kirkland office at (425) 485-0085. For more updates on what I’m doing for WA-01, you can follow me on social media at the links above.

Stay safe and stay healthy,
